"Hello!"

I bow respectively before the newcomer, who's most definitely older than me.

"Everyone, this is Seokjin, he'll be training as a vocalist," PD-nim says, leaving out the obvious fact that Seokjin will be a visual. I mean, look at the guy. He's definitely a visual.

"I'll leave you to yourselves," PD-nim adds and then leaves Seokjin with us.

"You can call me Jin, if you want," he offers shyly and I smile along with the others — ignoring Yoongi, who only nods.

"I'm Hayoon, nice to meet you!", I now my head once again and the boys follow with their own introductions, Yoongi's falling short, as expected.

"How old are you, if I may ask?", Namjoon asks cautiously, to which Seokjin replies "I'm nineteen."

"Ooh, Yoongi-oppa is nineteen too! Which year were you born?", I ask, even more curious now. I wonder who holds more authority.

"1992," Seokjin says and Hoseok and I grin at each other. 1992 meaning that Seokjin holds authority over Yoongi and Yoongi has to show someone his respect, too. Finally someone within the band who could teach him some manners in some way.

"So Yoongi-oppa comes after you, then there's Hoseok, me, Namjoon, Taehyung and Jungkook," I clarify.

Hoseok had told me shortly after I became part of the group that he didn't want me to call him oppa, since it would make him feel older than he already is, especially since we're born in the same year, so I don't call him that.

"PD-nim told me we're incomplete?", Seokjin says and Namjoon nods "He said we're gonna be a band of eight so I guess one is still left to appear."

"The last one will have to be a vocalist too," Taehyung states and we nod once more, Seokjin adding "I was told we have four rappers."

He takes a look around the room and points at Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok and lastly Taehyung "You're the rappers, right?"

Taehyung solely raises his hands as if defeated and says "I wish."

Seokjin'y gaze goes to Jungkook, who only shakes his head.

Finally his eyes land on me and he looks like he's been rendered speechless.

"I'm faster than Namjoon and Hoseok," I shrug with an innocent smile. In response, Hoseok chucks his hat at me, hitting my arm, making me giggle at his childishness.

"This hat is mine now," I put on his hat and stick my tongue out at him, a gesture he returns.

Namjoon sighs "Sometimes I really doubt the fact that the two of you are older than me!"

Hoseok and I shoot him a glance that just screams murder.

"Anyways," Namjoon says loudly, quickly changing the subject, "PD-nim asked me earlier if any of us have ideas for a stage name."

That sends me into thought right away. I remember telling PD-nim on my first day that I already have an idea, but I haven't given it any further thought yet, since I've been quite busy elsewhere.

"I want to be called something with hope!", Hoseok almost yells and I laugh at his bright smile.

From what I've heard from Namjoon, in the past weeks Hoseok has always tried his best to cheer up the others should things go wrong.

"How about just Hope?", Taehyung suggests, to which Hoseok frowns "Just Hope?"

"J-Hope?", I suggest and Hoseok looks at me, in thoughts, before he mumbles the name to himself a couple of times. Then he says "I'll think about it, but it sounds nice."
